Duo-Phase LDR values?

[knobToucher]

I’m just about to bulk one of these things and was wondering what value/type LDR I should use? Any suggestions much appreciated!

I built mine (and several Phase II's) using the LDRs from Tayda... The specs might vary from day to day, but I believe they were similar to a GL5516 at that point in time.

Thanks mate.. so no particular light/dark resistance ratio that’s optimal? More than happy to go for the cheapest option here but if I can make the pedal sound/respond better by getting a specific value I’ll take that option!

I used the Tayda LDRs for the DuoPhase with good results.

We are talking about the 540nm LDR correct? Tayda also has 650nm ones, but the GL5516 is 540nm.

I have always ordered the 540nm and used them in a multitude of builds including the duo phase, abyss, Sagan, and probably a couple others I’m forgetting. All worked and sounded just fine. I actually pulled out and measured the ones I had left and their range is around 5k(light)-5M(dark) give or take.
